5 ways to spot a BS news article online

^ Sauce Here are the main points which are further detailed in the article: [quote]5. It's world-changing news from some obscure website 4. It's from the -blam!-ing [i]Daily Mail[/i] (Or another U.K tabloid) 3. It's predicting some future disaster at a specific date 2. It's a poll disguised as a news story 1. It's about a miracle cure for cancer, obesity, or clean energy[/quote] So remember kids, the next time a certain person, who will remain nameless in this thread, posts an article about an extraordinary finding about marijuana curing cancer or regenerating brain cells, yet the article comes from something like "leafscience.com," or any other obscure equivalent, it's most likely BS.

    One time some guy arguing that religion was the cause of all human suffering posted the link to some bullcrap study... The site was called [i]American Humanists.com[/i]... and he expected me to take it seriously.
